For All Families in Lorain
The Rising Titans Collaborative provides programming and resources for ALL families in Lorain with children ages 0-5 through collaboration with Partners. Rising Titans also puts on various communiuty-wide events that focus on community engagement.
The Rising Titans Collaborative and it’s partners have the overarching goal of creating community wide kindergarten readiness throughout the city of Lorain. Our goal is to design a system that will help parents prepare their child for kindergarten from birth.
Lorain County Imagination Library
Lorain County Imagination Library is open to any child (birth to age five) living in Lorain County. Once enrolled, children receive one book mailed directly to their homes monthly. Each book is selected for the developmental benefits it brings and for fun. A child will build an at-home library of 60 brand-new books if registered at birth.
Playgroup
Playgroup is a program stemming from the Rising Titans Collaborative partnership, so stay-at-home families can bring their children to educational play time with other children. Our partners work together to make this happen for Lorain families! 100% of pre-k-aged children who participated in Play Group have transitioned to a formal preschool in Lorain.

Parent Success Stories
Building Confidence
“I decided to sign Kylian up to this program to help his confidence and help with his separation anxiety. Coming from a primarily Spanish speaking household, this program has helped him learn English little by little. He is now able to stay in his classroom with very minimal interruptions to come if mommy is still here. And most importantly, he enjoys coming to see his friends and teachers and looks forward to it.”
Continued Growth
“I started bringing my oldest child two years ago and I loved the classroom feel and hands-on learning. Once he graduated and my two younger ones could attend, I started bringing them. They have loved it! We enjoy the structure of the classroom and how the teachers identify my kids’ strengths as well as things they can improve on. I have seen a lot of growth in both of my kids since bringing them to Play Group. I look forward to next cohort! “
Finding Routine
After just moving to the area, we were looking for a little consistency for our 3-year-old daughter, and a little taste of structure before potentially starting Preschool. We love Ms. Jenn and how she connected with each child. Our daughter looks forward to Play Group each week! It gave her opportunities to socialize and make friends!
